some idiot posted:The following actions shall be prohibited beginning 45 days after the date of this order, to the extent permitted under applicable law: any transaction that is related to WeChat by any person, or with respect to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, with Tencent Holdings Ltd. Trump did not, in fact, just ban Tencent.

Some influential people seem to think that the order does, legal word-salad aside. https://twitter.com/slasher/status/1291552038455775233?s=21 The key part people are interpreting differently than you is the "or with respect to any property" part from that quote. Also, you left out the last part: quote:with Tencent Holdings Ltd. (a.k.a. Téngxùn Kònggǔ Yǒuxiàn Gōngsī), Shenzhen, China, or any subsidiary of that entity Gay Rumsfeld fucked around with this message at 04:07 on Aug 7, 2020 |

Pigbuster posted:Epic is not a subsidiary of Tencent. I believe Tencent owns approximately 40% so it seems a bit up in the air if it applies to them or not.

Once they toss him some cash he'll probably back off, it's what Trumps knows to do.
